    kind of out of touch with the gay community eh? plenty of men have been sexually assaulted by men as well as those who seem threatened by the opposite sex

    Half of what you said is impossible to quantify.

    sure...I've heard it's a real problem in the prison population as well....my point is gender isn't the issue at all....and if it happens speak out and bring it to the attention of the authorities unless you don't think you've been violated or harrassed. Doesn't matter what your gender or sexual identity is...no means no. Kevin Spacey wasn't accused of harassing women

    I once read a post on reddit about a guy who met a girl with downs syndrome outside a movie theater and gave her a ride home and ended up nailing her. Both were around 16-17 if I recall.

    He said it was pretty alright...

    So I guess my point is... Teenage guys definitely are.

    You know what I think?
    Telling me what I think is fighting words. Yeah, trigger.

    Actually I did think the experience you described sucked. But I doubt it wrecked your career or left you with lifetime fear. Maybe I am wrong but I see resentment, not terror.

    You know, you could ask me directly if you want to know. I am capable of speaking for myself, if you haven't noticed.

    I used to interview individuals for positions and if someone (male or female) was dressed showing inappropriately it didn't come across well.
    There are those that think other attributes can offset skills.

    Pretty simple to me, people need to be respectful to all and learn to be calculated if they are not.

    I knew guys at Tektronix who dressed sloppily and worked Bankers' hours but were top notch researchers. They got paid top dollar.

    One out of ten sexual harassment charges are against men, statistically. Personally it's never happened to me although I've been alone with another woman very frequently in the workplace. Of course, I was never an asshole.
